Winery Review: This is an awesome unwooded Chenin Blanc, and is made from 48 year old vines in the Swartland wine growing region. "This wine packs a deceptive punch. And that punch tastes of apples, pears and quince, with an appealing herbal note that helps it pair well with salads and other light fare. Don't drink it too cold, or you might miss all the fruit." - Washington Post (June 2010)
My review: This wine did not have the strongest smell but had a great taste. This was my first Chenin Blanc and it had a very fruity flavor that made my mouth pucker some with its tartness. I agree this wine packs a punch but i did not sense that taste or smell of apples.
I tasted this on its own with no food. I had just ate some gouda and that may have affected my tasting.
